Fiction Poetry
I say I love and I love and I love. However, the window
will not close. However, the hawk searches
for its nest after a storm. However, the discarded
nail longs to hide its nakedness inside the tire.
βfrom βFork with Two Tines Pushed Togetherβ How to Dance as the Roof Caves In examines America as it faces a recession of collective mood and collective wealth. In a central sequence, the βhousing bubbleβ reaches its bursting point when, with hilarious and biting outcomes, real estate developers hire a married couple and other down-and-out βextrasβ to stage a fake community to lure prospective investors. In these marvelous poems, Nick Lantz describes the changing American landscape with great imagination and sharp wit.
